Test server and two small updates

Hi everybody! In light of opening the client code for contributors, we've decided to also set up a proper test environment. If you want to be the first to see new features and to help us make sure they actually work, welcome to https://atwar-game-test.com!

Test site uses a test service and test database, so everything is completely separated from the live site. You will have to create a new account, as your old account password wouldn't work (privacy concerns!). We'd also advice not to use the same password you're using on the live site.

There are currently two very small updates there, courtesy of Safari and Clovis:
- Saving your preferred color. When entering a game and selecting color, it should be automatically preset the next time you enter the game (if not already taken). The preset gets erased when you close your browser.
- Bug fixed: after merging air units with land units correct range should now be displayed.

We've tested these already and they seem to work, but feel free to give them a go.

These updates are baby steps for now, as we still don't have a resident programmer. Having a proper test enviroment will really help to get things going though, as it's always a very time consuming part of the development process.

Syrian force stop crying, tbs are part of the game.All of us have been tbed and lost, its not big deal.Maybe lowering max tb chance in 45% instead of 50 will do the trick.Lowering it further will destroy AW as we know it.Also stop crying and give admins a thank you for at last listening to community and trying even with baby steps.Also random guys who try to log in with same pw and account, bros do you even read main post before posting?

I feel we should make it more prio-based and less luck-based

It is prio based your chances double when your priority is higher, proof of that is that u will always tb 10 units with 1 if your 1 unit is 1st moved while the 10 units are 20+ priority

More.
I was suggesting a 3x if higher priority and 1/2 if lower priority.

Perhaps this was a bad suggestion though, it should be more of an attempt to lower the range rather than downplay the number of units

If its more people will cry "fucking priority" all the time right?
But it goes to show even in such case people wont say "man im bad at priority" instead blame game to have their dignity intact.

biggest prove for me about this is that each time a guy loses for a turn block he says "nice tb" what does he possibly mean?

My simple counterargument to that is that people like gk have the entire community crying about their tbs while never getting tbed themselves.
Personally I have had a lot of people cry about tbs but never been tbed overexcessively myself.

Why, just why, is it that laochra/heat/gk somehow tb consistently, and not get tbed consistently, but the rest of the community cannot do likewise?

you wut?
laochra never tbed< laochra lost a cw against opi few days ago for a tb and got capped yesterday in a cw and said in clan chat "too many tbs"
what a shit counter argument... and of course gk wont get tbed when all he does is tb and rush... deal with it.. that makes game just luck luck luck we had enough of luck
its freaking luck nothing to do with skills cant you get it? i know i have it and opponent have it but its still luck luck luck no constant rule for it lol... you know why people doesnt rush rome in 3v3 now a days? because transports could be easily tbed and rip the player and you know why west games are likely to end turn 3? because we can easily 1 unit tb and rush the others cap for example paris or london really what sense does it make when you cannot even move its very gay very very gay the units attacking are targeting the city not the units inside it... people claimed tbs are necessary so you do not escape your stack to never get them killed if they are exposed for example and that applies for general walking alone to avoid death as well but well.. if someone wants to be retarded and leave his cap open to not get his stack killed then this is illogical reason to create the turn blocks shit...
you know? once upon a time at war had like 90% tb chance i have seen a video for very long ago players at 2013 the guy just sends 1 to paris par turn and it got tbed for like 10 turns its bullshit and its still bullshit to have this up its being exploited so much people are not meaning to attack the city they are meaning to fuck up the other players moves its an exploit that has became future in this game,,,, simply 1should tb1 not 1tb 30 where is logic 1unit won the game gg pro player...

You cry about the same thing every day luck tbs, luck rolls, luck this, luck that..
Your game skills are limited, i saw that in the duel we played a few days ago, instead of moving netherlands firstmove to avoid the tbs you did walls and taken spanish cities as firstmove

No need to cry man, everyone gets tbed, some players are just better at avoiding them, and at doing them (good players) and guys like you (noob forum spammers) are the ones who get tbed.

who told you that i walled in first move and who told you that i took spain as first move? stupid shits like you dont know who im once upon a time nobody could defeat me NOBODY and now shits that gets lucky by 4inf 1 mil beating 3pd mil in madrid or tbing first move out of NL or 5inf + gen goes alone to paris even through i merged them with nl units so they do not go if nl units got tbed but idk what happened then claiming i didnt first move from there just to prove that you also cant believe the amount of bullshit that happened and want to some how turn it on me really you are sad person one month ago i got 7inf and general pd failing in poland 5 miltia earlier a year ago i suppose i had 11 inf taking madrid first turn and they failed and before it i had 4/3 more units then a blitz player as pd and i still failed the attack even through you know blitz units no matter what they are are shit and also i had a game where i sent same amount of infantry as PD as did another blitz player to london first turn and i lost and one month ago i sent 16 and general to sweden germany sent 14 and gen and he won so shut the fuck up when you say im crying none sense you just sucks players never know how to manage armies you are cap stackers depending on tbs and shits every 2v2 cw rushing west's cap even through you are unable to take it if you do not perform a turn block so just gfy plox ty
really you guys made this game trash luck dependent game gj you are not even mature enough to take this argument admins are simply ignoring because they dont want to waste their time not because its better like this

Wow that text was hard to read, not a single punctuation sign or anything...
All just 1 big sentance that made no sense, to save myself the brain cells i didnt read it fully.
But im sure it was bla bla something about you being op once and bla bla crying about tbs with a bunch of insults inbetween that made you look like an even bigger idiot than you already are.

Just gonna trigger you by saying again that you really really suck, i didnt even mention that you left 3 units in walled london t1 cause you range failed right?

But lets discuss about you not understanding how tbs work so you try to pillory players who know the mechanic well, i bet 90% of your posts are about crying tbs.

Who told you that i walled in first move and who told you that i took spain as first move? Stupid shits like you dont know who i am. Once upon a time, nobody could defeat me. NOBODY and now shits that get lucky by

4inf 1 mil beating 3pd mil in madrid
Comment by Luke:
Yeah you are right you were pretty unlucky losing with only like...87.75% chance of losing. Not to mention that I put nostrat.
Oh, you say, he was probably imp?
Damn you really are unlucky, 60% is so close to 0% chance, right...
?

or tbing first move out of NL or 5inf + gen goes alone to paris even through i merged them with nl units so they do not go if nl units got tbed but

idk what happened,

before claiming i didnt first move from there just to prove that you also cant believe the amount of bullshit that happened and want to some how turn it on me.

Really, you are a sad person. One month ago i got 7inf and general pd failing in poland 5 miltia earlier a year ago i suppose i had 11 inf taking madrid first turn and they failed and before it i had 4/3 more units then a blitz player as pd and i still failed the attack even through you know blitz units no matter what they are are shit and also i had a game where i sent same amount of infantry as PD
Comment by Luke: One month ago, earlier, or a year ago? Make up your mind please

as did another blitz player to london first turn and i lost
Comment by Luke: Did he happen to send 10 tanks too?

and one month ago i sent 16 and general to sweden. My enemy sent 14 and gen and he won
Comment by Luke: You were imp he was lb? Above you said that blitz rolls were shit, now you compare without even saying strat.

Make up your mind.

so shut the fuck up when you say im crying
Comment by Luke: No

none sense you just sucks players never know how to manage armies you are cap stackers depending on tbs and shits every 2v2 cw
Comment by Luke: I think this screenshot proves your point.

rushing west's cap even through you are unable to take it if you do not perform a turn block so just gfy plox ty
Comment by Luke: k, not as if I can convince you otherwise.

really you guys made this game trash luck dependent game gj you are not even mature enough to take this argument admins are simply ignoring because they dont want to waste their time not because its better like this
Comment by Luke: Whatever you say

also tb chance never gets to 0 for your info in the new machinics
Comment by Luke: Admittedly so, but it can become negligible if you have a big enough stack moving.

so you are saying that 4inf and 1 militia are enough to 3pd militia?
are 4inf even enough to kill 3 netural militia?
i have sent 7inf and a gen pd to poland and failed and i didnt bother read the bullshits you wrote as i know what i have written and its obvious what you are doing you are just dumb fucks that cannot stand on a point i cannot discuss a shit with someone ignoring my points or calling me a liar so gfy ty dont comment to me please you are in ignores now for making no sense
also i spoke about two seperate things in two different times but your weak mind just wants to get bullshit excuses to sound like "making sense"
i dont know when did jesus born as well is it really 2017 years ago (go read about it)? thats not clear as well make up your mind please ty such stupid logic

I could not bother read either.

I think a reuse of argument would be appropriate.

Everything you said above is bullshit. I don't understand it. your weak mind just wants to get bullshit excuses to sound like "making sense"
also the supermarket on endor ran out of apples yesterday
gfy ty

Turnblock. Its when units you moved to another location dont get there because they were attacked or merged with others units into battles. Players use that chronices to prevent their opponent attack. If you dont find guide send me mail i will link you when i get home
